I have always loked for ways to find God blessing and favor. I was blessed when I bought this book. Here, Pastor Benny Hinn will show you to Blessing and what he calls "no lack." You will know about how to win God's favor and blessing. If you believe in God and His Word, The Bible, you will not regret buying this book. It is written well and is easy to understand. A book that is worth its price and more.

I have always wondered about the biblical ways to prosperity and abundance. I was blessed when I bought this book. Here, Pastor Benny leads the reader to God's blessing and what he calls "no lack." You will know the verses of God's promises and how to be favored by God to claim those He promised. If you practice the principles in this book, which are taken from The Bible, I belive that God's favor and blessing will be upon you. If you belive in God and The Bible and buy this book, you will NOT regret it!

This book focuses on the importance of knowing the wonderful plan that God our Father has in store for us. This book has been an eye-opener to me to see the bounty of God's superabundant blessings which we receive through Christ. If you want to see God's blessings flowing tremendously in our lives,if you want to know the conditions on how to receive them, if you want to know God's wonderful plan and will for our lives, whether in the areas of health, finances, job, marriage and family --- this book will surely uplift your spiritual sails! Benny Hinn outlines some biblical principles about God's plan for us on how to claim His blessings on our lives. I have been touched on one of those principles and that is on the subject of tithing. I started to act out in faith, started to give back to God what is rightfully His, claiming His Word and trusting by faith, the Lord indeed is faithful to His promises! Not only did His spiritual blessings poured out over my life, but He lifted me out of financial debt! CAUTION: This is NOT a how-to book on wealth and prosperity, this about the God's generosity and faithfulness to His children, stretching forth His hand to save us and help us in our needs which He supplies in Christ. Those who want to boldly walk and claim God's blessings on their lives, this book is for you!

Certainly no theological treatise, Hand Me Another Brick is nevertheless a fine exposition of the book of Nehemiah, and an outstanding application of that book to modern life and leadership. Perhaps Swindoll's best effort, this is certainly one of the best available Christian "leadership" books, and is an extremely entertaining read to boot. Well worth the effort.

Good summary of a Christian perspective on leadership. We even used this book in a military discussion on leadership.

If their is one problem that plagues the church today it is poor leadership, this book gets you motivated to lead God's people God's way a must read for any Sunday school teacher, Elder, deacon, Pastor or aspiring leader in God's Kingdom.

Let me begin by saying that this book has truly shown me the inside of my heart. Before reading Improving Your Serve,by Charles Swindoll, my "serve" was more for me than it was for God or for anyone else. I had considered myself to be loving and caring of others, but after reading this book I realized how much more I could be doing. I love the many stories that are put together to teach lessons on humility, forgiveness, giving, influences...etc. I have truly learned where my heart needed to improve and I am really working toward serving others and loving others no matter what. I am beginning to get the heart that Christ would want me to have, and not so much the heart that the world expects of me. If anyone longs to get out of the selfish world that we live in, and would enjoy the pleasure of giving back to their community and the people they love, I suggest reading this book. Chuck has truly shown me to see the good in all people and to love and forgive others as Christ has forgiven me.

Incredible that the same principles taught by Jesus Christ became the passion of Robert Greenleaf, Chuck Swindoll, Peter Drucker, Ken Blanchard and numerous others.

Chuck Swindoll is a great story teller. Probably would have been a great television personality like Cronkite, but chose to follow the real call on his life.

If you want to be challenged to face your pride/ego, pick up this book and read it cover-to-cover. Ouch!

I read this book a few years ago, and it radically changed my life. The first book that I ready written by Chuck was The Grace Awakening, and my eyes truly were opened and my mind enlightened, as to how very easy it is to be legalistic and judgmental. In reading Improving Your Serve, I felt smaller and smaller, and realized how Big God really is and what it really means to "be like Jesus." Thanks Chuck, your books The Grace Awakening, and Improving Your Serve, have done for me what being at church Sunday after Sunday was not able to accomplish. In reading these two books in particular, I realized that being a writer is a powerful tool to use as a witness to the truth of Jesus Christ. Continue to operate in this ministry wisely. May God's blessings continue to be on your ministry.

Are you struggling in your faith? Are you having trouble listening to God's voice? Did you know that there are several ways for God to communicate with you? Did you know that most of the time we hear two voices (Satan and God)? Want to know how to tell them apart and how to ultimately listen to God? Then you should check out Charles Stanley's book Listening to God. Two years ago I received this book as a gift and I just put it on the shelf. When I finally read the book I realized that if I would have read it the first time I would not have been faced with the issues that I am struggling with today.

In this book Charles Stanley not only teaches the reader how to listen to God, but he also tells the reader how to take that new knowledge and apply it in real life situations. He uses examples and stories from his own life, which helps the reader relate to the new concepts and issues. Each point is backed with scripture and is followed by questions that will make the reader take a closer look at his or her walk with God.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is stumbling in their walk with God or anyone who is trying to strengthen their relationship with the Lord. This book, although it is apart of a Bible Study series, does not necessarily have to be read in the correct order. Just pick it up, read it and don't give up because the Lord will use it to show you the way!

I really enjoyed reading this book and thought it was excellent. Not only did it focus on the "why do I feel this way" aspects of emotions, but it also offered great suggestions on how to deal with our emotions. The book focuses on emotions in general, but then gradually confronts specific emotions such as anger, fear, anxiety in later chapters. It gives great examples on what to do when you feel a certain emotion and how to deal with it. What I liked even more is that the text was backed up with great biblical verses and it also made you think. I've already started putting the book to use and I can already see a change in the way I think and react to my emotions! The only problem with this book is I wish it were longer! :) Highly recommended!

'God Has A Purpose For Everything That Happens To You', is the Introduction to this book that, along with 'Another', may in fact change your life forever. Charles Stanley has been blessed with a powerful Gift from God to teach His Holy Word...that is equaled by "very" few. His 'In Touch' Ministry is indeed IN TOUCH with the Holy Spirit God Himself (Now find out more...).

Jesus Then & Now: Images Of Jesus In History And Christology edited by Marvin Meyer (Professor of Religious Studies at Chapman College) and Charles Hughes (Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Chapman College) is a singularly fascinating, college-level look at the artistic vision human beings have had of Jesus Christ throughout the ages. Jesus Then & Now does not limit itself to any era, or even to the religion of Christianity, for its also encompasses images and perceptions of Jesus in Judaism and Islam. Extensive annotation reflects the vast amount of scholarly research that has gone into this presentation of the myriad, often conflicting views of Jesus that have persisted through the ages. Jesus Then & Now is very highly recommended for both scholars and non-specialist general readers with a serious interest in the history of Christianity and evolving perspectives of Jesus Christ.

The Wisdom of Solomon at Work was an easy, enjoyable read that stimulated the mind with ancient Biblical stories and applied those stories to rea-life management issues in business.

One of the most interesting components of this book is that all of the authors come from different religious backgrounds (Protestant, Catholic and Jewish). All three united in telling some of the wonderful Old Testament stories of Ruth, Job, Moses, David and Solomon and gave examples of witnesses that used these teachings to improve a workplace.

I thought the book was insightful for those Christians who search for methods to apply their faith in their workplace. Whether you are a Christian or an atheist, this book provides wonderful illustrations of how to become a better manager.

Give it a try and enjoy learning about our God and principles in management.

THE APOCALYPSE OF BARUCH is a lost Holy Book. It is the vision of Baruch (Secretary to the Prophet Jeremiah) before and after the destruction of Jerusalem by the armies of Babylon.

The word APOCALYPSE literally means an "unveiling," or explanation of something that was previously unclear. BARUCH is truly an apocalypse in this sense, because it elucidates some of the Bible's history and interpretation. This book is not very well known (obviously) and BARUCH says this to God: "...but that few nations will be left in those times, to whom those words shall be said which Thou [God] didst say." This is particularly true today since this text is rarely if ever studied by Christians of faith along with their Bibles, and it is not readily availible for study. The edition I read is a reprint by R. H. Charles published by Destiny Publishers, not the edition advertised here.

The theological thought in this book is the same as in the Bible, and gives symbolic exposition of Biblical history. The most interesting part is about the twelve waters: six black and six bright. These waters correspond to different events in Biblical history. The person that is lauded as the fifth bright water and given the greatest praise in BARUCH is King Josiah of Judah, who enforced the Law of Moses by force upon his apostate kingdom after he came to power. The sixth bright (and final) water is the Word: the advent of the Christ/Messiah who will usher in the New Covenant of the Church. Later on, the sixth black water (as is happening today) the Church will be besought by all kinds of opposition and God will be slandered. Finally God's Messiah comes and He will reckon with the world's nations, some to be spared and some to be slain. The Messiah's kingdom will be one of joy, peace, triumph and no anxiety.

These same prophesies are in the Bible, but the APOCALYPSE OF BARUCH will give the Christian some supplementary ways of interpreting them and how they will come about.

The truth of the Gospel and tenets of Biblical Christianity illustrated as I've never seen written nor heard preached in my lifetime.

The author's concern for the state of men's eternal souls is palpable.

Sound, Biblical exposition. Solid spiritual meat to satisfy the hungry seekers soul. A bright light under which to "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;..." (2 Corinthians 13:5)

Read the chapter entitled "Few Saved" and judge if you are one of the "few" who's found the narrow way.

Read the chapter on the Holy Ghost, and the absolute necessity of receiving Him so that we are empowered to walk in the Spirit as the Word commands.

It's time we cast off preconceived ideas and denominational doctrines that do not line up with the whole Word of God. We need to be healed of our spiritual blindness and self-righteousness. May the Lord grant all who read this book "eyes to see and ears to hear". Your soul depends upon it!

Without a doubt the most complete study of Biblical Hebrew I have run across in my 18 years of study. Complete, concise and clear definitions with references to scripture search as well. Cross references with Strongs Concordance so even if you don't know Hebrew you can find your word or passage in Strongs and then look for Strongs reference number at the back of BDB Lexicon to find the page for your word within the Lexicon. Will open a entire new world of study for the serious student of Hebrew.

I've found it difficult to find a good quality Hebrew and English Lexicon that doesn't require previous knowledge of Hebrew. This user friendly lexicon makes it easy to look up any biblical Hebrew word and get the meaning behind the word.

When I first picked this book up I was intimidated because it was full of Hebrew letters and looked more advanced than it really was. This lexicon can be used by novices like me who don't know Hebrew, but can be useful to those who do know it too. This book uses Strong's numbers so it maximizes what Strong's can do.

I am glad that I purchased this lexicon. It has served me very well in my study of the Hebrew language and how it is used in the Old Testament. This book can be useful to any bible student or anybody who studies the Old Testament.

This is a wonderful resource for a student of Biblical Hebrew. I used it all the time in college and couldn't have gotten through my Hebrew classes without it. Make sure you get the index by Bruce Einspahr too.

I read this book over a year ago but haven't gotten around to writing a review until now! :P

Contrary to one review here, I believe it is obvious that the Biblical authors considered the Book of Enoch to be "scripture." At least Jude did. (JFYI, I don't believe the Bible is infallible or literally "God's word", nor do I believe Enoch is)

Regardless of your perspective on the Bible or the Book of Enoch I think most will agree with me that the Book of Enoch is an enjoyably chilling, goose-bump giving read; absolutely fascinating!

Chapters 6-8 were marvelously entertaining. The descriptions of the vampire-like beings known as the Nephilim (also Rephaim, which some, interestingly, translate into "the dead") were more interesting than anything Hollywood could come up with! (This book gives movie writers a perfect story for a horror-film so I am surprised that so little has been done in this area---not that I would not Hollywood to corrupt the story)

I must say, however, that I do take issue with some of Charles' translations. Hebrew "Nephilim" should not be translated into "giants", not from etymology (which isn't a correct method of translation in the first place) or in usage. We do not know what it means, so he should have left the word as UN-translated (simply "Nephilim") instead of taking it upon him to decide that the word meant "giants", which is ridiculous.

"Sin against" in 6:5 is not a correct translation. I think "defile" might have been more accurate. This paints a very different picture since it then implicates that the Nephilim somehow mated with the animals (which happens to correlate with the Authentic Book of Jasher's account on the subject).

"Wives" in chapter 5 is also incorrect. The "Irin'" (often translated as "watchers", though others often have it as "those who are awake" or "those who watch") did not choose "wives", they chose "women." The Hebrew text indicates that these sex-crazed angels were lusting after "women" rather than choosing "wives." It is nonsense to think that the angels talked to the human fathers of these women and discussed contracts and legal issues (which is what usually went on before marriages could take place)!

"Bastards" (describing the Nephilim) in chapters 10 and 13 is not a correct translation either. "Biters" would have been more accurate. (And it is interesting that these "biters" happened to drink blood, according to chapter 6)

While I have much more to say about some of the translations, as well as some comments to make about Charles' theory of why the church rejected the book, I think I've said enough.

In summary, this book simultaneously beautiful and terrifying! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the paranormal and supernatural (which are not synonymous).

Okay, the reviewer below is wrong about a couple things: A-Jesus said angels "in Heaven" don't marry; he wasn't talking about ones that might take human form! Also, Enoch never in this text is a mediator between God and men. Even if he was, Jesus didn't become the mediator until his rise to Heaven. Now for the actual review: While much of the Intro is wild speculation to say the least, ( I doubt the NT was as influenced by "Enoch" as Mr. Charles thinks ) it is still an invaluable document in studying how the Jews did eagerly await a PERSONAL Messiah and they believed in an EARTHLY manifestation of His Kingdom. The Book of Enoch is stunning in it's glowing poetry and vivid images; this text was of great importance to both William Blake and even modern day Anne Rice. I doubt strongly this is some "lost book" of the Bible, but it has added so much to my faith in the canonical Scriptures that I heartily urge ANY lover of the Word, or truth-seeker, to obtain and study this fascinating ancient text.

Dear Mr. R.H. Charles: I am very interested in obtaining a copy of your books in spanish, for I want to share them with a non-english speaker friend and find them to be extremely informative and would like to know where or how can i get them. Sincerely,
